Exceptional experience for my wife and I. The travel both up and down was slow enough to appreciate both sides of the train. We will certainly endeavour to visit again.

This was such a fun adventure. We followed the Aplins in the Alps on YouTube. The recommend the excursion and the we’re correct. We rode up to the top in the train. Make sure you book with a priority boarding ticket to get on the train for first seat choices. The right side will have the best view. All lookouts were amazing. Make sure you keep going up not to miss out on the 360* degree view. We then took the train down partway at Rotenboden and hiked the trail to Riffleberg. So fun. No sheep that way on our hike today. Bummer. We then rode the train back down to Zermatt. Very much enjoyed the entire day.
